Allium Solar and Storage project permitting delay
Summary
Longroad Energy says its Allium project application, deemed complete in August 2025, has gone 14 months without progress due in part to the BESS moratorium. The developer asked the county to allow the CEQA process to continue while approvals stay frozen — but the commission couldn't act because the topic wasn't on the agenda.

Impact analysis
Continued delay could push the project to state permitting, costing the county local control and potential tax and community-benefit dollars.
The county would retain local control over the project if a processing path is restored.
The applicant bears ongoing financial risk from the 14-month delay.
